100!

YIKES! We can hardly believe that our Madison celebrated her 100th day of school last week! She came home with some groovy 100 glasses and 100 treats. What a day.
We also had a super time with our Sechler cousins last weekend. We did some sledding, swimming at the Reef, cousins read together, decorated Valentine cookies, played school, barbies and Wii (below Daniel, Madi & Bre all jump in celebration while they play M&M Beach Party on the Wii) and we got to take the cousins to church with us too.
And the highlight of Madi's day at school on Friday was that cousin Rebekah came to eat lunch with her!
Watching Madsion, Breanne & Rebekah interact was priceless! So many mental pictures in my head. My favorites? The three of them talking in the van on the way to dinner about camping together this past summer. When we got to the restaurant, Breanne says, "Guys, we can finish talking about this later." My other favorite "picture" was watching them walk all three hand-in-hand to the bathroom together at the restaurant. We referred to them as the 3 peas in a pod.
It was sweet to spend time with all five cousins. Abigail is quite the sweet little girl and she got along with Aliya very well. The only minor mischief was the markers they found and used to decorate the basement...oops!
I also enjoyed sledding with the three boys and playing Cadoo with Micah and Daniel.
Today, we are recovering from acute depression due to the Saints victory last night....There's always next year...
